Douglas Keesey is a professor of film and literature at California Polytechnic State University. His published books include Neo-Noir: Contemporary Film Noir from Chinatown to The Dark Knight (Kamera Books) as well as Catherine Breillat, Don DeLillo, Erotic Cinema, Peter Greenaway, and Paul Verhoeven.
Neo-Noir is a fascinating look at the way an established genre has
evolved to embrace modern styles and mores. By picking films that
are both clear re-interpretations of the old school and those that
depart from the definitions of the accepted genre, Keesey invokes
opinion and creates a need to re-examine the language and morality
of recent films in a way that not only relates to the old but
treats it as a weapon to engage with the new. Films you are
familiar with gain new perspectives and there are plenty of others
that you'll want to seek out
